Grounded in reality but I get everyhing out of life it has to offer. I have been through about the worse life can throw at me but I have gained infinite wisdom from it. I am looking for an attractive single lady who doesn't keep old boyfriends close at hand. To say that beauty doesn't attract me would be a lie, but honesty, loyalty, and sincerity can go a long way with me. I don't look my age, most never put me over 37 or so. I generally am not attracted to women my age, more from attitude than because of looks or age. Obesity is a turn off to me, a few pounds is one thing, obesity is something else. If that makes me evil than I apologize. But I might as well be honest up front. I am currently "retired" from nursing. I spent many years in medical administration and my nursing hands on experience is mostly trauma/ER. Currently I am working on my first novel. So far it's going pretty well. I am looking for a life partner, not a dance in the dark. I am fine with friendship first because I think that is the best way to build any relationship. That way if it doesn't turn out to be something romantic then no one gets their feelings hurt. Drop me a line if you would like to talk.

Pretty much open. Usually a lunch, afternoon cup of coffee, or something along that line is the best way to break the ice.
